Practical Tools for Managing AI Cheating in Student Writing
Schools should manage AI cheating by moving beyond bans and unreliable detectors toward clearer assignment expectations and greater visibility into student writing processes. Tom highlights tools such as Traffic Lite, EduGems’ AI Expectations, and Process Feedback for Google Docs to clarify acceptable AI use, reduce ambiguity, and help teachers focus on authorship, thinking, and process. In all, make the student writing process visible.
Face-to-Face with AI: Hyperrealistic Tutors Are Poised to Become a New Instructional Medium
Hyperrealistic, conversational video tutors may become a new instructional medium—not just AI-generated video. Tools like Synthesia, HeyGen, and Speakology point toward responsive tutoring experiences with voice, video, prompts, and feedback. The key issue is whether educators shape these avatars with sound pedagogy, privacy, equity, and teacher workflow in mind.
The Best Sources for Real Student-Facing AI Activities (And Why They're Hard to Find)
Real examples of students actively using AI for learning remain surprisingly scarce. Tom identifies the strongest sources—Edutopia, SchoolAI, ISTE project guides, MagicStudent, MIT’s Homework Machine, and several educator-writers—while explaining why public examples are hard to find: privacy concerns, platform walls, teacher workload, and coverage focused mostly on teacher productivity.
